The Marysville Bridge opened in the fall of 1970 across the Nashwaak River in Fredericton to replace the former bridge which was damaged in 1970.
The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure began repairs on the Marysville Bridge in the summer of 2022.
Details of the bridge work are available below along with the status of each phase. DTI wishes to advise the travelling public that during this time the bridge and approaches will be reduced to one lane of traffic. There may also be occasions of bridge closures to allow for the bridge to be lifted to install new bridge bearings. The public will be notified ahead of the bridge closure dates.
In 2023, the Marysville Bridge will be closed to all traffic for two, 72-hour periods to allow for the concrete deck pours to take place. Any closures or additional traffic disruptions will be communicated to the public.
